Ride-hail­ing giant Didi Chux­ing has of­fered a de­posit-free ser­vice for its shared ve­hi­cles in the cities of Hangzhou and Ningbo in East China’s Zhe­jiang prov­ince. Didi chose the two cities to run its shared ve­hi­cle ser­vice pi­lot pro­gram, putting more than 1,500 such ve­hi­cles on the streets. The ve­hi­cles can be picked up in one city and dropped off in the other, 157 kilo­me­ters away.
